I'm giving it a whirl. I'm not happy with it. The game is pretty, the music is nice. The combat is okay. Everything else is from an era I don't wish to repeat. Mob tagging, quest hubs, no objectives marked on maps (save for quest NPC's). The moment I got to the first town and picked up 6 quests at once, I heaved a sigh and logged off.

I put some more time in with a friend and got off the starting island. I found out that you actually can see objectives on the map, you just have to open up your quest journal and click on the highlighted name of the enemy in the quest text. That was helpful but it would be nice if it did it automatically. This same friend tells me I have to go through at least one dungeon first before writing the game off so I'll plow through. Its not bad or anything, it is just a model I no longer enjoy. GW2 has spoiled me in that regard.

The game is certainly pretty. The fanservice borders on ridiculous but hey, I can enjoy some well purportioned tits in skimpy clothes.

On Tempest reach. wish there was a dps meter so i can gauge my performance. Tanked one instance, very confusing. Fun so far.I was worried my dystonia and keyboard being wonky might make the combat arduous, but it hasn't. Reserving final judgment til I hit cap for a month. Been burned by too many "F2P's as of late.

From lvl18, you can play it like it's Monster Hunter.As in, doing only 5-man dungeons and solo/duo BAMs.
